Updated Things To Do

Things I have been meaning to do accomplished this week:



1. Blog something noteworthy or at least a little interesting and funny - which I haven't and probably will not anytime soon - Didn't happen - oh well!


2. Take a picture of the girls new bobs and post a picture - maybe I will get to it this weekend - I did take a picture but haven't posted it yet ..


3. Figure out how to make Chatty's bed head look normal each morning with her new haircut - This will take a miracle from God or a really good hair product which I have yet to purchase


4. Convince Bia she does need a barrette or pony tail in her hair each morning - Lost cause - Miss Independent has to do everything HER way (gee I wonder where she got that from?)


5. Buy a birthday present for our buddy SMC - Will be taking care of this at lunch today


6. Get a pedicure - After work today


7. Clean my house (acutally I would love to have a cleaning fairy show up and shake her wand and it all be clean) - The cleaning fairy still hasn't shown up - what's up with that


8. Quit grabbing handfuls of cheeseballs from the container in my pantry and snacking on them. Darn Mr. ESPN and Chatty who insisted on getting them from Costco! I successfully managed to eat several pounds of cheeseballs this week-it wasn't pretty. My goal now is to just eat them all so they will be gone - not the best idea I have ever come up with but I am I going to do?

 9. Start reading the book for Casey's book club - I did buy it so at least I am heading in the right direction. Started the book yesterday and love it so far. So as of today I am in the middle of reading three books - The Help, The Ocean Between Us and Crazy Love ...


10. I am sure there are a ton of other things I could list but just can't think of and I know if you asked Mr. ESPN he could tell you several things I haven't done this week and should have ... oh well ... such is life ... I better get going so I can get some of these things off my list!


11. And one more thing to add I finally got my new job with our corporate tax group. Over two months of waiting but finally got the call yesterday.


Have a good weekend - hope you all are able to knock some stuff off of your to do list! Next week we are blasting off for our Galatic Blast Vacation Bible School. Yes I am teaching VBS again this year. At least this year we got 1st graders some of which I teach for Sunday school. Much better than the catty 4th grade girls from last year!

Boobies, Farts and Church Ladies

That title sounds like a skit from SNL ...if only my life was that funny or interesting. A whole lot of nothing to blog about - busy at work and think I am getting a cold so have been going to bed early the last two nights. Last night after Bia got in her monkey pjs she looked at me and said "Wanna Cuddle Momma?" - she is such a cuddlebug and I love it. Sure beats the comment she had at Target while we were shopping last weekend "Look Mommy - Boobies" (pointing to the bras) ... she continued to repeat this phrase over and over .... Apparently she did this when she was shopping with Mr. ESPN in Costco and they saw the sports bras.


Bia's comment wasn't as bad as the one Chatty had all weekend, "Who farted?" Of course this was followed by lots of laughter by Chatty! See potty humor isn't limited to boys!

Yesterday in the snack area at work I went to open a canister to see what someone had brought in to share. As I pulled the lid off the bottom half slid off the table and all of the cookies flew on the ground.  Two guys sitting in a cube across from me saw the whole thing and made some comment to me. It was like the Diet Police were telling me "No Cookies for You!" I was a little embarrassed but it was funny and honestly they didn't look that great ... my homemade ones look (and probably taste) better.

I am supposed to have a girl’s night with the "Church Ladies" aka young moms at church. I was really nervous the first time I went out with them ... were they laid back, do they drink, do they only talk about church, are they like me? Needless to say I had a great time with them last month and am looking forward to this month if I am not sick (two of them are prego plus we all have kids so I don't want to spread anything). We are all supposed to bring a heavy appetizer. I want to bring the antipasto sticks that I think Coco blogged about. I e-mailed her to see if you would send me the recipe. BMB - don't you have a recipe for something like this too? Can you send it to me and I can compare them?
